Got a Daily quest that required me to get X number of Rogue wins. I didn't have any Rogue decks built, so I tried this one. Ended up going 7 - 0 in ladder play before finally succumbing to a Druid and his army of treants. I definitely recommend this deck to anyone just getting starting with the Rogue class.

I'm not sure if anyone reads these still but I have two questions regarding this style of deck.

 

I noticed that when comparing this deck to the medium budget rogue aggro deck they remove the Leper Gnome but keep the Argent Squires and I was curious why. For an aggro deck Leper Gnome seems to be better to me. Perhaps it is for cold blood+divine shield combo on argent squires?

 

My second question is if they do not have any cards in play is it worth it to put combo cards on the field without activating their combo? (IE defias ringleader) I feel like if I do not get the exact cards I want to draw I stall through the early game and then I do not have enough pressure. I'm sure I am playing it wrong but I am not sure what to change to be more effective.

 

Sorry if my questions are dumb I haven't played very much constructed because I mostly play arena mode.

Hey, atz

Like you said, Leper Gnome is better for most aggro decks as it will often do more than its 2 deathrattle damage, which can be really nasty. However, since this is a mid-range aggressive deck, you play your early game a bit more defensively by responding to your opponent's plays, rather than committing your entire hand towards pressure. Your deck will pull ahead in mid-game and Argent Squire will often prove to be better than Leper Gnome as it will always survive the damage from any hero power and potentially delay your opponent for a second use as well as give you the chance to take out any weak minion. Argent Squire is not as aggressive as Leper Gnome, but will be just as annoying.

You can always play combo cards without their combo, however you should really consider the state of the game - in order to play a SI:7 Agent or Defias Ringleader without its combo, you either need to be in a tight spot with no other solutions (being under immense pressure) or you are so much ahead that you don't mind committing another card towards pressure.

In either case, it is a rather bad idea and I rarely play my combo cards without triggering their combo.

I created my rogue deck based on this suggestion. It's still my best deck. I made some modifications(around 3 or 4 cards) and made it more personal.

 

It seems i get beaten more often against druids and rangers.

 

The deck becomes more powerfull when you play second. Ignoring combos will lead to defeat most of the times.

Thanks for posting this deck, I found it very effective and enjoyable to play. I've played 15 games, and won 13 of them in ranked mode, this is the very best for me, with any type of decks tried so far!

What do you think about a change between Sunfury Protector and Defender of Argus, as the Protector cost less mana, so you can make more combos in the early game?

Hey, Alexbeast,

Gruul is generally a bad card, it used to be played in some priest decks but since it is an easy target for Big Game Hunter or other removal, it will rarely have any impact on the game as it has no immediate impact on the board... except intimidation :)

Ragnaros on the other hand is great in any mid-range or control deck. If you wish to include it in your rogue deck, I would suggest tailoring entire deck theme a bit more towards mid range as it already is.

You can potentially take out Cold Blood as its not really needed and you can try to find replacement for 2x Leper Gnome. (Healing: Earthen Ring Farseer, Weapons: Ooze, but preferably, 1x Big Game Hunter + 1x Faceless Manipulator in case you have them)

Hope it helps,

Poyo

Would it be viable to include a Blood Knight in this deck?

Hey, Ron

Yea, Blood Knight can be a solid choice for any deck that runs minions with Divine Shield, especially if meta game is full of such minions as well.

Just finished naxx and tried adding in nerubian eggs instead of the squires. There were already some good combos in the deck to go with them and it doesn't wreck the mana curve too badly. Thoughts, concerns?

Nerubian Egg may seem amazing with its potential 4/6 value for 2 mana, however in reality, it can be even more demanding than getting your Ancient Watcher to become useful. Other than throwing it into an aoe spell, I don't find other synergies revolving the egg worth the effort.

This deck shot me through rank 20 to 17 on the ladder, then hit a wall.

 

I'm new to the game but, I feel the deck suffers from running out of steam too early (mainly due to comboing in one turn), then having no draw power to compensate (I understand this may be a general weakness with a "rush/aggro"' deck).

 

Additionally, opponents that used nerubian eggs, harvest golems, and really just plain old taunts shut me down hard. Having no silences or assinates makes these cards harder to deal with.

 

Thoughts?

I'm noticing the same thing with the taunts as well. If the majority of minions they are playing have taunt I just concede, there's not a lot in this deck to deal with taunt heavy decks and still have the power to attack the player. I'd like to see a good way to take care of that.

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.

      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:

      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.
